When receiving the product you also receive a booklet with cooking ideas, recipes as well as temperatures and cooking times. The book states how long to cook a food at a certain temperature but that is all, soon after cooking you will learn that the booklet missed a few steps. When cooking french fries for instance you should take them out and shift thing about two times to evenly cook them all around, else when the timer goes off the fries closes to the top look amazing and the fries on the bottom are still soft and soggy. Also when attempting to bake a cake I would suggest backing in two layers because if you try to do it in just one go which there is more than enough room it will burn the top eventually before the middle gets closed to being cooked. Once you learn the tricks to using this airfryer everything else is very simple to use and honestly a lot for fun (compared to using a oven).
